Right from the start Persons staff were very friendly and helpful in directing me to the right person to handle my case. I was fortunate to be introduced to Ms. Venus Pham. Venus was thoroughly professional and knowledgeable which made me trust her and relaxed. I was able to confide in her all the relevant details without hesitation. It was a day with unexpected delays which was not of our making yet she handled with utmost professionalism. She thoroughly and promptly documented the whole case and sent me emails with relevant attachments for my records immediately. Pearsons and its clients are lucky to have Ms. Venus Pham mas one of their employees.

Venus thank you very much for all your assistance and putting up with me and I wish you all the best in all your future endeavors in your professional career as well as private life. May God bless you with all success good health and happiness.

Warm regards

I highly recommend Sara Taylor at Pearsons. Sara took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, ensuring I felt informed and confident in all decisions being made. She was always responsive to my questions, no matter how small, and handled every detail with care and precision. Her knowledge of family law and financial settlements was evident throughout, and her strategic approach ultimately led to a fair and positive outcome for me. I was able to witness first hand how much difference having a highly experienced lawyer can make in navigating a highly stressful time, and I am extremely happy with the service I received. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your detailed and generous review, Lynsey. We're so pleased Sara's clear explanations, responsiveness, and strategic approach helped you feel confident and achieve a fair outcome during such a stressful time. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.

He prepared me for what to expect on each occasion and provided appropriate and specific legal advice each step of the way in a friendly, down to Earth and supportive manner, resulting in an excellent outcome for my matter. Sam goes out of his way to achieve sought after outcomes for his clients. I highly recommend Sam to support you through the legal process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we create parenting arrangements?

Parenting arrangements or plans can be developed through negotiation, family dispute resolution, or by applying for a parenting order through the family law courts. Our experienced team provides tailored support to ensure arrangements reflect parental responsibility, the best interests of children, and your specific circumstances.

How is property settlement resolved?

Property settlement can be finalised via binding financial agreements, prenuptial agreements (made prior to the relationship breakdown), consent orders, or court orders. Our legal team helps clients navigate complex property settlement issues, value assets, assess liabilities and superannuation to achieve realistic outcomes for both parties.

What does shared parental responsibility mean?

Shared parental responsibility gives both parents equal rights and duties in making key decisions about their child’s welfare, education, healthcare and overall upbringing. Our team provides strong advocacy and practical advice to former de facto and married couples, same-sex couples, and individuals navigating parenting matters.

How can we reach a mutually agreeable resolution on family law matters?

Many clients resolve matters through mediation, negotiation, or consent orders. Our dedicated team provides practical advice and emotional support to help you make informed decisions while managing the emotional impact of family separation or divorce applications.

What does a divorce cost?

Divorce applications typically involve court fees, and any additional costs for legal advice and representation, depending on the complexity of the family matters. Our experienced team provides realistic advice on potential outcomes for parenting, child support and financial agreements, ensuring transparency and avoiding unexpected costs.

What is a consent order?

A consent order is a legally binding court-approved agreement covering parenting orders (child custody) and property division. They provide certainty without a full hearing, helping couples navigate complex issues with minimal emotional difficulty.

What is a financial agreement?

Financial agreements (also known as prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, and family law financial agreements) are legally binding contracts that outline asset division, spousal maintenance, or other financial matters before, during, or after a marriage or de facto relationship. Our legal team ensures your agreement reflects your specific circumstances and long-term goals.

How can we ensure agreements are enforceable?

Agreements can be formalised by way of court orders or binding agreements, and must comply with family law requirements. Consent orders and binding financial agreements both provide certainty, protect your legal rights, and are enforceable after both parties sign them.
